1 And David spoke the words of this song unto the Lord in the day that the Lord had delivered him out of the hand of all his enemies and out of the hand of Saul.
2 And he said, The Lord is my rock, my fortress, and my deliverer.
3 God is my Strong One; in him will I trust: he is my shield and the horn of my saving health; my defence and my refuge; my saviour, who shall save me from violence.
4 I will call on the Lord, who is worthy to be praised; so shall I be saved from my enemies.
5 When the waves of death compassed me, the floods of Belial made me afraid;
6 when the cords of Sheol compassed me about; the snares of death came before me;
7 in my distress I called upon the Lord and cried to my God, who heard my voice out of his temple, and my cry entered into his ears.
